Studies have shown that learning a second language not only benefits a child linguistic abilities but also their cognitive and creative abilities as well.

Learning a second language makes it easier for learning more languages.

The earlier children learn a foreign language increases the probability of developing a close to native pronunciation and intonation.The question most parents will ask is how to expose their kids to a foreign language if it is not spoken at home or at school. My suggestion is to buy Cd's in the target language that contains poems, songs, rhymes, etc... try playing the Cd every day or as much as possible for 30 minutes or more. This will help the child with proper pronunciation and sounds of the target language.There are many Spanish Cd's out there that are good for listening and getting familiar with the language. One that is very good and highly recommend is:1. Baby's first words in Spanish. (includes sounds, rhymes and songs) by Living Language

About Me

I have been teaching and working
with children as young as two years old and up for many years. Understanding
that real learning takes place when kids are having fun and actively
participating, I am continually developing ways, games and strategies to encourage
and motivate my students in order to maximize their learning experiences.

I currently teach Spanish and
Music to children
at several Day Cares in Chicago.

I am the creator of Music and
Spanish Fun for Kids.

I am a classically trained pianist.
I am also a composer and arranger. Most of the songs used in the Spanish Fun for
Kids program are my compositions and others my arrangements.
